The Countdown has started: Next Wednesday, 18th April 2018, we organize another event dedicated to Swiss film music. This time in collaboration with SSFV at the International Docfilm-Festival „Visions du Réel“ in Nyon.

The composer is the creative force behind a film’s music. What the spectator finally hears in a cinema or at home is the result of an intense, constructive and sometimes confrontational relationship between the composer, the director, the sound designer and the editor. The panel will give an insight into this creative and exciting interaction, from the creation of the first musical sketches to the final soundtrack, based on three real cases: Chris the Swiss (2018), The Day the Sun Fell (2015), The Congo Tribunal (2017).

Right after the conference, Mathias Spohr presents the migration of Swiss Film Music Anthology released as a box in 2012, into a collaborative wiki-platform entitled: «Swiss Film Music Encyclopaedia».
